Lay down a list of what is wrongThe things you've told him all alongAnd pray to God he hears youAnd pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friendSomewhere along in the bitternessAnd I would have stayed up with you all nightHad I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voiceYou lower yours and grant him one last choiceDrive until you lose the roadOr break with the ones you've followedHe will do one of two thingsHe will admit to everythingOr he'll say he's just not the sameAnd you'll begin to wonder why you came

2. It Ends Tonight by the All-American Rejects

Your subtleties, They strangle meI can't explain myself at allAnd all the wants, And all the needsAll I don't want to need at all

The walls start breathing, My mind's unweavingMaybe it's best you leave me aloneA weight is lifted On this eveningI give the final blow

When darkness turns to light,It ends tonight, It ends tonight.

3. One Last Breath by Creed

Please, come now, I think I'm fallingI'm holding to all I think is safeIt seems I found the road to nowhereAnd I'm trying to escapeI yelled back when I heard thunderBut I'm down to one last breathAnd with it let me say, Let me say

Hold me nowI'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkingThat maybe six feet Ain't so far down

4. Acoustic #3 by the Goo Goo Dolls.

They painted up your secrets With the lies they told to youAnd the least they ever gave youWas the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams goWhen the world gets in your wayWhat's the point in all this screamingNo one's listening anyway

And she wonders where these dreams go'Cause the world got in her wayWhat's the point in ever tryingNothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against youAnd you love the lies they sayAnd I tried so hard to reach you But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through youWhen the world gets in your wayWhat's the point in all this screamin'You're not listening anyway

5. Feel the Silence by the Goo Goo Dolls

You lie awake at night With blue eyes that never cryAll you remember now Is what you feel

The truth remains In midnight conversationsI asked for this moment But you turned away

Sad like a lonely child, Broken the day you're bornI held the light to you, But I was so vain

And you remain A promise unfulfilledI ask you for more But you push me away

And if we feel the silenceHolding this all inside usEverything means more now than Words could explainAnd if we feel the silenceLeaving this all behind usLooking for something more to say

6. Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

And you can't fight the tears that ain't comingOr the moment of truth in your liesWhen everything seems like the moviesYeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see meCause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I am

7. Bells of Freedom by Bon Jovi

I have walked all alone On these streets, I call homeStreets of hope, streets of fearThrough the sidewalk cracks, Time disappearsI was lost, on my knees On the eve of defeatAs i choked back the tearsThere's a silent scream no-one could hear

So far away from everything, you know it's trueSomething inside that makes you knowWhat you've got to do

Ring the bells, ring them loudLet them ring here and nowJust reach out and ring the bells of freedomWhen your world's crashing downLike you've lost every roundStand your ground And ring the bells of freedom

8. I Am by Bon Jovi

How you spend your minutes are what mattersAll tomorrows come from yesterday'sWhen you're feeling broke and bruisedAnd sometimes shatteredBlew out the candles on the cakeLike everything's a big mistakeIt seems you always wait for life to happenAnd your last buck can't buy a lucky breakIf all we've got is us then life's worth livingAnd if you're in, you know I'm in, I'm ready and I'm willing

I Am, When you think that no-one needs youSees you or believes you, No ones there to understandI Am, I'll be there to be that someoneWhen you think that no one, is there to hold your hand, I Am

9. Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day

I walk a lonely road, The only one that I have ever knownDon't know where it goes,But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of broken dreamsWhere the city sleeps And I'm the only one and I walk alone

My shadows the only one that walks beside meMy shallow hearts the only thing that's beatingSometimes I wish someone out there will find meTil then I'll walk alone

10. Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World

There's no one in town I know,You gave us some place to go.I never said thank you for thatI thought I might get one more chance.What would you think of me now,so lucky, so strong, so proud?I never said thank you for that, now I'll never have a chance.May angels lead you in. Hear you me my friends.On sleepless roads the sleepless go.May angels lead you in.

11. Maybe Broken by Lifehouse

And I am here still waiting, Though I still have my doubtsI am damaged at best Like you've already figured out

I'm tired of being what you want me to beFeeling so faithless lost under the surfaceDon't know what you're expecting of mePut under the pressure of walking in your shoes(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)Every step that I take is another mistake to you(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb I can't feel you thereI've become so tired so much more awareI've becoming this all I want to doIs be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering meHolding too tightly afraid to lose controlCause everything that you thought I would beHas fallen apart right in front of you

13. Crawling by Linkin Park

Crawling in my skin, These wounds they will not healFear is how I fall, Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surfaceConsuming/confusingThis lack of self-control I fear is never endingControlling/I can't seem

To find myself again, My walls are closing in(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)I've felt this way before, So insecure

Show me what it's like To be the last one standingAnd teach me wrong from rightAnd I'll show you what I can beSay it for me, Say it to meAnd I'll leave this life behind meSay it if it's worth saving me

14. Scars by Papa Roach

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shutMy weakness is that I care too muchAnd our scars remind us that the past is realI tear my heart open just to feel

15. Crash and Burn by Savage Garden

When you feel all aloneAnd the world has turned it's back on youGive me a moment please to tame your wild wild heartI know you feel like the walls are closing in on youIt's hard to find relieve and people can be so coldWhen darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call, If you jump I'll break your fallLift you up and fly away with you into the nightIf you need to fall apart, I can mend a broken heartIf you need to crash then crash and burn, You're not alone

When you feel all alone, And a loyal friend is hard to findYou're caught in a one way streetWith the monsters in your headWhen hopes and dreams are far away andYou feel like you can't face the day

16. Welcome to My Life by Simple Plan

Do you ever feel like breaking down?Do you ever feel out of place?Like somehow you just don't belongAnd no one understands youDo you ever wanna runaway?Do you lock yourself in your room?With the radio on turned up so loudThat no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like, When nothing feels all rightYou don't know what it's like, To be like me

To be hurt, To feel lost, To be left out in the darkTo be kicked when you're downTo feel like you've been pushed aroundTo be on the edge of breaking downAnd no one's there to save youNo you don't know what it's like, Welcome to my life

17. Dare You To Move by Switchfoot

Welcome to the planet, Welcome to existenceEveryone's here, Everyone's hereEverybody's watching you now, Everybody waits for you nowWhat happens next, What happens next

I dare you to move, I dare you to moveI dare you to lift yourself up off the floorI dare you to move, I dare you to moveLike today never happened, Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout, Welcome to resistanceThe tension is here, Tension is hereBetween who you are and who you could beBetween how it is and how it should be

18. Right Here by Staind

I know I've been mistakenBut just give me a break and see the changes that I've madeI've got some imperfectionsBut how can you collect them all and throw them in my face

But you always find a way to keep me right here waitingYou always find the words to sayTo keep me right here waitingAnd if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waitingSearching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I hope you're not intendingTo be so condescending it's as much as i can takeand you're so independentyou just refuse to bend so I keep bending till I break

19. Wonderful by Everclear

I close my eyes when I get too sad,I think thoughts that I know are badClose my eyes and I count to ten,Hope its over when I open them

I want the things that I had beforeLike a star wars poster on my bedroom doorI wish I could count to ten,Make everything be wonderful again

Hope my mom and I hope my dadWill figure out why they get so madHear them scream, I hear them fightThey say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bedAnd I dream of angels who make me smileI feel better when I hear them sayEverything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're littleAnd the worlds so big, I just don't understand howYou can smile with all those tears in your eyesTell me everything is wonderful now

Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and playI tell the kids that its all okayI laugh aloud so my friends wont knowWhen the bell rings I just don't wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyesI make believe that I have a new lifeI don't believe you when you sayEverything will be wonderful someday

20. Maybe Never Too Late by Three Days Grace

This world will never be what I expected And if I don't belong, who would have guessed it I will not leave alone everything that I own To make you feel like it's not too late, It's never too late Even if I say It'll be alright Still I hear you say You want to end your life Now and again we try To just stay alive Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late, It's never too late

Opiate detox process can be really tough on anyone. The reason that the opiate detox process is so hard is because opiate addiction affects you physically and psychologically. When you go through the opiate detox process, you are putting stress on your mind and your body. These days, there are a number of different treatment options that are available to those that seek them out, however you need to make sure that you look at all of your choices before you commit to an exact course of action. In the past, hospitalization was the most common treatment for addiction, followed by inpatient rehab. Until now, the twenty-eight day rehab programs have been the accepted protocol for actually treating the addiction. These programs are a port in the storm for the addict who is. It wasn’t until the recent medical breakthroughs in opiate detox that the patients entered into rehab after a month or two in detox, in which they followed the rules and then succeeded at staying clean while they were inside. However, these centers have a really bad relapse rate at eighty five percent. Abstinence away from drugs is not an easy task to accomplish but it is possible within the walls of Cliffside Malibu.Article courtesy of Cliffside Malibu.

It should perhaps go without saying that sober living can only be an effective conduit to addiction recovery if it’s preceded by competent drug treatment. And make no mistake: You can’t beat drug addiction without help. Getting sober means checking yourself into a drug rehab center, and trusting the wisdom of your drug rehab program. At the same time, though, addiction treatment is ultimately only as successful as its patients make it, and your own agency, in sober living and in drug rehab proper, will and must be instrumental in the recovery process.

It’s worth noting here that no two drug rehab programs or drug treatment centers are exactly alike. Before sober living can help you achieve long-term addiction recovery, you’ve got to find a drug rehab facility that’s right for you: a drug rehab facility that can cater to your specific needs, and be mindful of your individual interests. In the fight against drug addiction, anything less than the most intimate drug rehab plan couldn’t ever be good enough.

But how can you know whether a drug rehab center or sober living facility is really interested in safeguarding your best interests? The short answer is that rightness is ultimately a matter of feel: A drug rehab center or sober living facility is the right one for you if it feels like the right one, if you walk through the front entrance and get a sense that you’ve come home.

Of course, that’s a lot of abstraction without much concrete advice. The fact of the matter, really, is that you’ll know the right drug rehab center or sober living facility when you find it. At Cliffside Malibu, we’re in the business of “ah-ha” moments: of taking prospective patients on a tour of our grounds and waiting to see that flash of recognition in their eyes, when they realize they’ve come to what is and could only ever be the “right” place. It is, to the say least, quite an experience. We can only hope we’ll get to share it with you. (article courtesy of Cliffside Malibu)
